  1. UCSF Perspective: Improving pain management education and care while reducing the opioid burden Mark Schumacher Ph.D., M.D. Professor and Chief, Division Pain Medicine Project Director NIH CoEPE Dept. of Anesthesia & Perioperative Care University of California, San Francisco

  2. UCSF: Diverse Educational and Care Sites + SFGH, SFVA

  3. UCSF: NIH Center of Excellence in Pain Education (CoEP) IOM report “Relieving Pain in America” 2011 On average medical schools provide about 9 hours of formal pain management course work but ..pain is often the primary complaint NIH “Pain Consortium” launches CoEPE initiative - 2012 National Institute of Drug Abuse steps in to Continue - 2014

  4. UCSF: NIH Center of Excellence in Pain Education (CoEP) Recognition that appropriate pain management training as fallen between the cracks as the number of persons living with chronic pain continue to grow Medical and other professional schools are often failing to provide up-to-date, evidence - based training to care for our citizens suffering from acute and chronic pain Adults and Children

  5. UCSF: NIH Center of Excellence in Pain Education (CoEP) UCSF: Selected as one of 13 CoEPE sites in 2012 Only such site in California Goal: Develop innovative approaches to pain education and care. Serve as leaders for Region – Nation

  6. UCSF CoEPEGOALS: • Assessment of all pain - related curriculum for: • Medicine, Pharmacy, Nursing, Dentistry • Replace pain ‘lectures’ with active case learning • Teach pain management competencies for common • clinical scenarios • Develop longitudinal structure spanning all 4 years • Use simulation to teach Interprofessional Care • Develop ways to disseminate pain care information • for local (pain summit), regional and national audience (web)

  7. What is UCSF doing now? Multimodal Analgesia: A focus on non-opioid strategies -non-invasive -non pharmacologic -combination of medications / nerve blocks -UCSF Patients undergoing joint replacement -Receive combination of peripheral nerve catheter infusion (LA) plus combination of non-opioids - Team care for success Kehlet et al

  8. Multimodal Analgesia Using multiple non-opioid medications that together provide superior analgesia with lower side effects c/w high–dose opioid alone. • -Acetaminophen 1000mg po x 1 preop. • continue throughout hospital course • -Celecoxib: 400 mg po x 1 preop. • continue @ 200mg twice daily • -Gabapentin 600mg po x1 preop. • continue @ 300mg three times daily Kehlet et al

  9. Goals of multimodal analgesia What we see: -early mobilization -shorten length of stay: 3-4 day > 1-2 d -improved satisfaction -reduced opioid consumption -reduced nausea / vomiting -modest cost – low risk

  10. Next Steps: Extend multimodal approach to other clinical areas Integrate evidence - based advances in pain care with Pain Education Center (CoEPE)
